Item for this Scizor?

1 minute read

I am 99% complete my ORAS WiFi Singles team, and I have one tiny problem: I have no idea what item my Scizor should hold. Leftovers and Rocky Helmet are already in use, so that eliminates those. I considered Life Orb, but I’m not running Roost, so Sciz wouldn’t stick around for long. Please help!

EDIT: And I already have a Mega.

Tailwind is rather useless when you’ve given Scizor no speed EVs. If you really want a support move on Scizor, go for Defog instead.

Imo there are 2 options for Scizor:

Scizor @ ScizoriteAbility: TechnicianEVs: 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Sp. DefNature: Adamant- Swords Dance/ Superpower- Bullet Punch- Knock Off- Bug Bite/ U-Turn

Scizor @ Choice BandAbility: TechnicianEVs: 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Sp. DefNature: Adamant- Knock Off- Bug Bite/ U-Turn- Super Power- Bullet Punch

Personally I don’t use Mega Scizor competitively, but hey it’s a viable choice.

I wish people actually read the question, huh?

You’ve got a couple of choices: Choice Band and Leftovers.I’m sure you know what a Choice Band does, but it’s gonna require some moveset-changing.

Lefties kinda makes me want to run a defensive set. Sorry if I’m being offensive, but right now your Scizor set is an odd mix of defense and offense. I’d advise going one way or the other, but not both.

Scizor @ LeftoversAbility: TechnicianImpish Nature252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Atk-Defog-Tailwind-Knock Off-U-TurnThis set clears entry hazards (all of them, so watch out if you’ve got any up), sets up Tailwind, knocks off an item, then gets the heck outta there.

Hope I helped!
